Bill, 11 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Bill has been in foster care for several years and has faced a lot of hardship. He has suffered a lot of trauma from neglect and has not always received the necessary support and belongings. He has found a lot of happiness in his current placement and is learning how to be a kid again. For the first time in his life, Bill has been given the opportunity to be involved in extracurriculars, and he has been loving swim class. Bill loves anime, sports, and reading and is a huge history buff. He can sit and talk about Greek history and mythology for hours! He is a leader to his brother and is very empathetic to his peers.

After transitioning back into care, Bill unfortunately lost a watch that was very important to him. As an athlete, he keeps track of time to manage his sports schedule and daily routines. Receiving a new watch will not only restore a tool he relies on every day, but also remind Bill that he is supported and cared for during this challenging period.
